As basic needs insecurity continues to challenge college students nationwide, institutions are expanding efforts to connect them with resources that support their well-being and persistence.
A recent analysis from the Institute for Higher Education Policy found that Pell Grant recipients are nearly twice as likely to experience food insecurity as students who do not receive the federal grant. Drawing on data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study, researchers found that 42 percent of Pell recipients experience food insecurity, compared with 22 percent of nonrecipients.
Housing instability also remains a concern for many students. A recent report from New America, produced in collaboration with the Eviction Lab, found that student parents ages 35 to 39 with school-age children experienced an eviction-filing rate of 22 percent—double the rate of their nonstudent peers.
